An Xform, or transform Object, is a renderable Object that specifies a
modeling transformation matrix applied to another renderable
Object.
It is included in Groups that are input to the renderer to specify the
transformation from model coordinates to world coordinates.
See the description of the <TT><STRONG>DXApplyTransform()</STRONG></TT>
routine in <A HREF="progu075.htm#HDRTRANSEC">16.1 , "Transformation"</A>.
